Findmypast has added three new sets to its British Home Children collection to help trace the migrations of 130,000 British children in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Boarded-out Children and Home Children sent to Canada
These records document children who were placed with British families before being sent to live in Canada under the Home Child scheme.
Emigration of Poor Law Children
The 261 records in this new set contain key details, such as the name, birth year, and age of each child who moved overseas.
Poplar Poor Law Union, Home Children lists
The last of Findmypast’s new Home Children sets comes from Poplar in East London and contains the names of 76 children who participated in the scheme.
Women Sentenced, 1865-1907
If your female ancestor ran into trouble with the law between 1865 and 1907, you may find her within this new set of crime records.
